Warnscale Beck………………thats what I ment as well SORRY

Rode, some of it :-), this summer.
Not really sure about it to be honest we had a fair few problems coming down two offs and a broken mech may have had something to do with it.
Its pretty much as described above A fair bit of it is rideable but it can be exposed, theres a pretty severe drop to your left, which I managed to go over with scared the shite out of me. I reckon though on a dry day and the right frame of mind it would be grand.

I know a few guys who love it.

Anc… up dale head from the top of honister following the ridge then down to the top of the castle crag BW past the old slate workings. tagged it onto the classic bash route. liking the sound of yours, plenty carrying, will put it to the committee

You know what for some unknown reason Rosset Gill scares me, and I’ve never even seen it. Wella crags and the right hander after the hidden view should get rid of most of the road stuff in watendlath which is nice.

Any advice in and around Dodd woods ???????????? other than avoid the Ospreys

Bren2709, you getting up onto wella crag past the mast? then back onto route at ashness bridge? if so not sure how I’ve missed that 🙂 looks like a good bit of road avoidance.

ir_bandito thats the route exactly camping in stonethwaite so rossett to finish puts us close to home but theres a big bloody hill in the way.

Scruff as I feared had been told not to bother…. but the guy had tried it about twenty years ago.

Was just looking at Fleetwith pike then looping back and over styhead, long day with lots of carrying but at least there’s a pub half way round.

d45yth, up there Friday mid day through till Monday lat afternoon, So two big days with short techy ride on the Friday, normally Skiddaw but the weather looks crap. easier XC type affair normally on the Monday.

Also anybody ridden up easdale to greenup edge??? I know its part of the coast to coast walk the other way so must be a reasonable trail.

one last try

HELP PLEASE 😆

not got much map time left. Plus have a job to keep up and a child to feed.

Torx……………………….you can do it with an Allen key but it takes ages and alot of swearing and you won’t be able to retention them after wards 😆

Buy new and get the opportunity to purchase on finance normally 0% from a shop who you then get to know you. You also get manufacturer warranty. Because you bought it from a shop that now knows you if anything does go wrong there more inclined to help you out if you go in with a last minute repair job, may even lend you the tools. You know whats been done to the bike through out its life coz you’ve done it 😀

Only got two bikes both bought from new ones a proper triggers broom though frame replaced under warranty.

^ what he says, Never had a good nights sleep on an air mattress, defo go for the alpkit type inflatable foam jobs we have two of there older fat airicks and they are bloody marvelous coldest night on them so far has been -10 and it was my bag not the mat that let me down.

Spare poles would seem to be available. 🙂

Wip3out……or wipeout 2097 still undecided on which was better.

Not really a video game but it did have a screen ‘ Starwars pinball ‘ in the arcades.

I was given a bike by Nick many years ago 2001 I think. Haven’t been in touch with him for a long time sorry to here this news and of course my condolences go to those he left.

Have a set of Syncros DS 28 rims on Hope Pro II hubs not sure on the spokes as they came pre-built from Santa cruz. I have been ridding them for nearly two years and they have been faultless the odd little scratch on the rims but still true. Also had very little trouble ghetto’in them managed it with a track pump and some cursing.
Used in the lakes mainly and replaced some “cheese” shimano XT’s which were crap.

HA HA HA

Just beat me too it 🙂

Wrecker,

Yeah can do, but could do with a bit more detail of what you were after.

I can do cut vinyl & printed vinyl

email, in my profile, with what your after.

Sam

Specialized Purgatory’s been using them for a few years there really good and cheep. You can even get a 90 day money back thing from Specialized if you don’t like them.

If it was me. 🙂

Drill into the screw head then force a torx into it. worst case you balls up the lever and if your already thinking about a new one nowt to loose.

or a sticky piston. Either way take them back

wow local hey,

let us know what you end up doing may be able to dodge out for an hour or two.

not a lot of tech at Guisburn a short down hill track and the new hope line, but not ridden that. it is fun though.

AWESOME

really really want to see this done.

Sam, yes, No.

Although when I was a small kid it did seam like most of the local dogs were called Sam as well. Plus I was always asked by any new teacher what my proper name was as Sam couldn’t be my full name.

doh

been running Purgatory as front and back tyres for the last two years in the lakes, so not a whole lot of mud, and they have been pretty good. The side walls are quite thin so I now have an ignitor LUST on the back, the purgatory had more grip.

Bash ring 😀 did exactly the same thing and went to a double set up

These have lasted me four years. I had to cut out the pad, it was a towel type affair, but it seems they have changed it now.
They have been worn pretty much every day the colours have faded but they are still bomb proof.

Theres a ride out of Ambleside every Tuesday night we leave from the main car park at around half six people start to arrive at sixish. Not to many people so theres not a whole lot of stopping. Andy who owns biketreks is often out so its a good way of getting to know the area.

TAA

blackburn flea

plus you can charge it by USB at work.

Setting up the new cleats, for some reason always takes me weeks to get it right. That and anything to do with chainring bolts hate them with a passion, whats wrong with glue?

Daft bloody things 🙂 what use are they anyway.

Sorry but once again Alp x’s, not cheep but i broke mine and Gore replaced them without a quibble.
I have previously had Altura ones, they were awful lasted two months. Also went down the cut off ex army path, they were really uncomfortable and the arse went on them at the beginning of a very wet weekend.

You spends your money and all that

Dependent on what you are after I can do them for you.

have you got any images of what you want doing?

Mail is in my profile.

Sam.

Yeap I’m playing out tonight.
The weather in North Lancs doesn’t look too bad no rain little bit of wind and some cloud cover to keep the heat in.
For some reason tend to ride more during the autumn and winter any-hows and pretty much always in the dark as well, guess you get out when you can. I mostly ride in the lakes where the trails are a lot less weather effected than other places which of course helps.

FUn FUN FUN

Specialized have there own chain stay mounted one coming out next year

Another recommendation for the Alp x all you have to do is make sure you keep the zip on the back closed and I’d get a toggle for the lace tie at the front, mainly because I’m lazy, but also because its easier to get them on and off with gloves on.

NIce to see the finished product and very good it looks too.

Kind of like these.

TOO LATE 😀
